Preface

Human physiology is theoretical basis a number of practical disciplines (medicine, psychology, pedagogy, biomechanics, biochemistry, etc.) · Without understanding the normal course of physiological processes and the constants that characterize them, various specialists cannot correctly assess the functional state of the human body and its performance in various operating conditions. Knowledge of the physiological mechanisms of regulation of various body functions is important in understanding the course of recovery processes during and after intense muscular labor.

Revealing the basic mechanisms that ensure the existence of a whole organism and its interaction with environment, physiology makes it possible to clarify and study the conditions and nature of changes in the activity of various organs and systems in the process of human ontogenesis. Physiology is the science that carries out systems approach in the study and analysis of the diverse intra- and intersystem relationships of the complex human body and their reduction into specific functional formations and a unified theoretical picture.

It is important to emphasize that domestic researchers play a significant role in the development of modern scientific physiological concepts. Knowledge of the history of any science is a necessary prerequisite for a correct understanding of the place, role and significance of the discipline in the content of the socio-political status of society, its influence on this science, as well as the influence of science and its representatives on the development of society. Therefore, consideration of the historical path of development of individual branches of physiology, mention of its most prominent representatives and analysis of the natural scientific basis on which the basic concepts and ideas of this discipline were formed make it possible to evaluate current state subject and determine its further promising directions.

Physiological science in Russia in the 18th–19th centuries was represented by a galaxy of brilliant scientists - I.M. Sechenov, F.V. Ovsyannikov, A.Ya. Danilevsky, A.F. Samoilov, I.R. Tarkhanov, N.E. Vvedensky and others. But only I.M. Sechenov and I.P. Pavlov is credited with creating new directions not only in Russian, but also in world physiology.

Physiology as an independent discipline began to be taught in 1738 at the Academic (later St. Petersburg) University. Moscow University, founded in 1755, also played a significant role in the development of physiology, where the Department of Physiology was opened within its structure in 1776.

In 1798, the Medical-Surgical (Military Medical) Academy was founded in St. Petersburg, which played an exceptional role in the development of human physiology. The Department of Physiology created under her was successively headed by P.A. Zagorsky, D.M. Vellansky, N.M. Yakubovich, I.M. Sechenov, I.F. Zion, F.V. Ovsyannikov, I.R. Tarkhanov, I.P. Pavlov, L.A. Orbeli, A.V. Lebedinsky, M.P. Brestkin and other outstanding representatives of physiological science. Behind each named name there are discoveries in physiology that are of global significance.

Physiology was included in the curriculum of physical education universities from the first days of their organization. On created by P.F. Lesgaft in 1896 immediately opened a physiology cabinet at the Higher Courses of Physics Education, the first head of which was Academician I.R. Tarkhanov. In subsequent years, physiology was taught here by N.P. Kravkov, A.A. Walter, P.P. Rostovtsev, V.Ya. Chagovets, A.G. Ginetsinsky, A.A. Ukhtomsky, L.A. Orbeli, I.S. Beritov, A.N. Krestovnikov, G.V. Folbort et al.

The rapid development of physiology and the acceleration of scientific and technological progress in the country led to the emergence in the 30s of the 20th century of a new independent section of human physiology - sports physiology, although individual works devoted to the study of body functions during physical activity were published in late XIX century (I. O. Rozanov, S. S. Gruzdev, Yu. V. Blazhevich, P. K. Gorbachev, etc.). It should be emphasized that systematic research and teaching of sports physiology began in our country earlier than abroad, and was more targeted. By the way, we note that only in 1989 the General Assembly International Union Physiological Sciences decided to create a commission under it “Physiology of Sports”, although similar commissions and sections in the system of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, the All-Union Physiological Society named after. I.P. Pavlov State Sports Committee of the USSR existed in our country since the 1960s.

The theoretical prerequisites for the emergence and development of sports physiology were created by the fundamental works of I.M. Sechenova, I.P. Pavlova, N.E. Vvedensky, A.A. Ukhtomsky, I.S. Beritashvili, K.M. Bykov and others. However, the systematic study of the physiological foundations of physical culture and sports began much later. Especially great credit for the creation of this section of physiology belongs to L.A. Orbeli and his student A.N. Krestovnikov, and it is inextricably linked with the formation and development of the University of Physical Culture named after. P.F. Lesgaft and its Department of Physiology - the first such department among physical education universities in the country and in the world.

After the creation in 1919 of the Department of Physiology at the Institute of Physical Education. P.F. Lesgaft, this subject was taught by L.A. Orbeli, A.N. Krestovnikov, V.V. Vasilyeva, A.B. Gandelsman, E.K. Zhukov, N.V. Zimkin, A.S. Mozzhukhin, E.B. Sologub, A.S. Solodkov and others. In 1938 A.N. Kreetovnikov published the first “Textbook of Physiology” in our country and in the world for physical education institutes, and in 1939, the monograph “Physiology of Sports”. An important role in the further development of teaching the discipline was played by three editions of the “Textbook of Human Physiology” edited by N.V. Zimkina (1964, 1970, 1975).

The development of sports physiology was largely due to extensive fundamental and applied research on the subject. The development of any science poses more and more new practical problems for representatives of many specialties, to which theory cannot always and immediately provide an unambiguous answer. However, as D. Crowcroft (1970) wittily noted, “... Scientific research have one strange feature: they have the habit of sooner or later being useful to someone or something.” Analysis of the development of educational and scientific directions The physiology of sports clearly confirms this position.

Requests for theory and practice physical education and training require physiological science to reveal the peculiarities of the functioning of the body, taking into account the age of people and the patterns of their adaptation to muscular activity. The scientific principles of physical education of children and adolescents are based on the physiological laws of human growth and development at different stages of ontogenesis. In the process of physical education, it is necessary not only to increase motor readiness, but also to form the necessary psychophysiological properties and qualities of the individual, ensuring her readiness for work and active activity in the modern world.

The formation of various organs and systems, motor qualities and skills, their improvement in the process of physical education can be successful subject to the scientifically based use of various means and methods of physical culture, as well as if it is necessary to intensify or reduce muscle loads. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the age-sex and individual characteristics of children, adolescents, mature and elderly people, as well as the reserve capabilities of their body at different stages individual development. Knowledge of such patterns by specialists will protect the practice of physical education from the use of both insufficient and excessive muscle loads that are dangerous to people’s health.

To date, significant factual materials on sports and age-related physiology have been accumulated, presented in relevant textbooks and teaching aids. However, in last years New data has appeared on some sections of the subject that were not included in previous publications. In addition, due to the constantly changing and supplemented curriculum, the content of previously published sections of the discipline does not correspond to modern thematic plans according to which teaching is conducted in physical education universities in Russia. Taking into account the above, the proposed textbook contains systematized, supplemented and, in some cases, new materials within the framework of today's educational and scientific information on the subject. The corresponding sections of the textbook also include the results of the authors’ own research.

In 1998–2000 A.S. Solodkov and E.B. Sologub published three textbooks on general, sports and developmental physiology, which were widely in demand by students, approved by teachers and served as the basis for the preparation of a modern textbook. The textbook they published in 2001 complies with the new curriculum for the discipline and the requirements of the State Standard of Higher Education vocational education Russian Federation and includes three parts - general, sports and age physiology.

Despite the large circulation of the first edition (10 thousand copies), two years later the textbook was not available in stores. Therefore, after making some corrections and additions, in 2005 the textbook was republished in the same edition. However, by the end of 2007 it turned out to be impossible to purchase it anywhere. At the same time, the Department of Physiology regularly receives proposals from various regions of the Russian Federation and CIS countries about the need for the next re-edition of the textbook. In addition, the authors have at their disposal some new materials that meet the requirements of the Bologna Process for specialists in physical education and sports.

The prepared third edition of the textbook, along with taking into account and implementing individual comments and suggestions from readers, also includes two new chapters: “Functional state of athletes” and “The influence of the genome on the functional state, performance and health of athletes.” For the last chapter, some materials were presented by N.M., professor of the Department of Biology at St. John's University in New York. Konevoy-Hanson, for which the authors are sincerely grateful to Natalya Mikhailovna.

All comments and suggestions regarding the fifth edition, aimed at improving the quality of the textbook, will be gratefully accepted by the authors.

Part I

General physiology

To any trainer and teacher for successful professional activity knowledge of the functions of the human body is necessary. Only taking into account the peculiarities of its vital activity can help to properly manage the growth and development of the human body, preserve the health of children and adults, maintain performance even in old age, and rationally use muscle loads in the process of physical education and sports training.

1. Introduction. History of physiology

The date of formation of modern physiology is 1628, when the English physician and physiologist William Harvey published the results of his research on blood circulation in animals.

Physiology the science of the functions and mechanisms of activity of cells, tissues, organs, systems and the entire organism as a whole. A physiological function is the manifestation of the vital activity of the organism, which has adaptive significance.

1.1. The subject of physiology, its connection with other sciences and its significance for physical culture and sports

Physiology as a science is inextricably linked with other disciplines. It is based on knowledge of physics, biophysics and biomechanics, chemistry and biochemistry, general biology, genetics, histology, cybernetics, anatomy. In turn, physiology is the basis of medicine, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, theory and methods of physical education. In the process of development of physiological science from general physiology various private sections: labor physiology, physiology...

PART ONE

GENERAL PHYSIOLOGY OF SPORTS

SPORTS PHYSIOLOGY –

EDUCATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINE.
Physiology of sports is both an academic and scientific discipline. Its study is carried out in all higher and secondary physical education institutions, in the faculties of physical education of pedagogical universities, as well as in individual departments of state universities and medical universities. In the teaching of the subject, the practical activities of coaches, physiologists and sports doctors, materials obtained during the implementation of research work that are carried out in the relevant research institutes, laboratories and departments are used.

Physiology of sports, its content and objectives.

Physiology of sportsis a special branch of human physiology that studies changes in body functions and their mechanisms under the influence of muscular (sports) activity and substantiates practical measures to increase its effectiveness.

The physiology of sports, in its place in the system of training specialists in physical culture and sports, is associated with three groups of educational and scientific disciplines. The first group consists of fundamental sciences, in which based physiology of sports, it uses their theoretical achievements, research methods and information about environmental factors with which the athlete’s body interacts in the process of training and competitive activity. These disciplines include biology, human and animal physiology, chemistry and physics.

The second group includes educational and scientific disciplines that interact with the physiology of sports in such a way that they mutually enrich or complement each other. In this regard, the physiology of sports is closely related to anatomy, biochemistry, biomechanics, hygiene and psychology.

And finally, the third group of disciplines with which sports physiology is associated are those that use its scientific achievements and research methods for their own purposes. These include the theory and methodology of physical culture, pedagogy, sports pedagogical disciplines, sports medicine, physical therapy.

The physiology of sports includes two relatively independent and at the same time interconnected parts. The content of the first - general sports physiology - are the physiological bases of adaptation to physical stress and the reserve capabilities of the body, functional changes and states of the body during sports activity, as well as the physical performance of an athlete and the physiological bases of fatigue and recovery in sports. Second part - private sports physiology - includes the physiological classification of physical exercises, mechanisms and patterns of formation and development of motor qualities and skills, sports performance in special environmental conditions, physiological characteristics of training women and children of different ages, physiological basis mass forms health-improving physical culture.

One of the important tasks of sports physiology is the scientific substantiation, development and implementation of measures that ensure the achievement of high sports results and the preservation of the health of athletes. Hence, sport physiology is an applied and mainly preventive science , since, by exploring and taking into account the reserve capabilities of the human body, it substantiates ways and means of increasing performance, accelerating recovery processes, preventing overwork, overstrain and pathological changes in body functions, as well as preventing the occurrence of various diseases.

A distinctive methodological feature of sports physiology is that its materials can only be obtained on humans, where the use of a number of classical methods physiology is impossible. In this regard, only a few clarifying experiments, as a rule, with the aim of studying the mechanisms of physiological changes during physical activity, are carried out on animals. It is also important to emphasize that The main task of sports physiology is the comparative study of the functional state of the human body, i.e. research is carried out before, during and after motor activity, which is very difficult under natural conditions. Therefore, special stress tests have been developed that allow dosing physical activity and recording corresponding changes in body functions during different periods of human activity. For this purpose, a bicycle ergometer, a treadmill (treadmill), steps of different heights, as well as various devices are used to record the functions of the cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular and central nervous system at a distance, transmitting the corresponding indicators via telemetric channels.

The physiology of sports occupies an important place in the theory of physical culture, forming the foundation of knowledge necessary for coaches and teachers to achieve high sports results and maintain the health of athletes. Therefore, the coach and teacher must be well aware of the changes in physiological processes occurring in the athlete’s body during training and competitive activities in order to scientifically build and improve this work, be able to justify their orders and recommendations, avoid overwork and overexertion and not cause harm to health training. They must also understand the essence of the changes that occur in the athlete’s body during the rehabilitation period in order to actively and competently influence them, accelerating recovery reactions.

Thus, from the above it follows that Sports physiology as an educational and scientific discipline solves two main problems. One of them is the physiological substantiation of the laws of strengthening human health with the help of physical exercises and increasing the resistance of his body to the action of various unfavorable environmental factors (temperature, pressure, radiation, air and water pollution, infections, etc.), as well as in maintaining and restoring performance, preventing the development of early fatigue and correction psycho-emotional overloads in the process of human professional activity. These tasks of sports physiology are solved within the framework of mass forms of physical culture.

The second problem of sports physiology is the physiological justification of activities aimed at achieving high sports results, especially in elite sports. These two problems do not completely coincide, since in order to achieve the highest results during training, in some cases such loads are used that can lead to a decrease in the body’s resistance to adverse environmental influences, deterioration of health, and even the occurrence of diseases.

Based on all that has been said, it becomes obvious that the physiological characteristics of the body’s functions should be studied and assessed separately both in relation to mass physical culture and physical training of special contingents (military personnel, firefighters, geologists, students, schoolchildren and some other categories), and in relation to various sports, especially elite sports.

Department of Physiology, St. Petersburg State Academy of Physical Culture named after. P. F. Lesgafta and its role in the formation and development of sports physiology.

Decree of the Council People's Commissars dated October 22, 1919, on the basis of the Higher Courses of Physical Education, the Institute of Physical Education named after. P. F. Lesgaft (in 1929 transformed into the Institute of Physical Culture named after P. F. Lesgaft, and in 1993 into the Academy) with the establishment of a number of departments, including the Department of Physiology ~ the first such department among physical education universities in the country

The organized department from 1919 to 1927 was headed by Leon Abgarovich Orbeli, subsequently full member Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR and Academy of Sciences of the Armenian SSR, Hero of Socialist Labor, laureate of State Prizes of the USSR, Colonel General of the Medical Service, honorary member of a number of foreign academies. Already in those years, under the leadership of L.A. Orbeli carried out the first research work on the effect of physical activity on the body. However, the subject was mainly taught according to the curriculum medical institutes in the form of lecturing and performing individual laboratory exercises in the course of general physiology with some emphasis on the section “Muscle Physiology”. In applied terms, only certain medical issues related to the effect of physical exercise on the body were covered. This content of the discipline reflected the objective state of affairs at that time. scientific knowledge in the field of physiology of muscle activity both in our country and abroad. It was the initial, first, period of the formation of sports physiology.

After L. A. Orbeli left the institute, Alexey Nikolaevich Krestovnikov, who headed the department of physiology for 28 years, from 1927 to 1955, was elected head. During this period, the department staff did a lot of work to collect functional indicators of the athletes’ bodies under the influence of various physical exercises and analyze their changes. The generalized material allowed Professor A. N. Krestovnikov to publish the first physiology textbook in our country for physical education institutes (1938) and the first monograph on the physiology of sports (1939). The publication of these books made it possible to highlight and finally form a new educational and scientific section of the subject in human physiology - sports physiology. From now on it begins second, transitional period of development of sports physiology (1930-1950s) as an educational and scientific discipline. From 1955 to 1960, the department was headed by Professor Evgraf Konstantinovich Zhukov.

Modern, third, period of development of sports physiology (1960-1990s) is characterized by the creation of systematic educational and scientific sections of the discipline that correspond to the new tasks of training highly qualified, competent specialists in physical culture and sports. IN curricula This period reflects two interconnected parts of the subject (general and specific sports physiology). Since that time, sports physiologists have begun to study not only the impact of individual physical activity on body functions, but also the influence of systematic training and its characteristics on the functional state of athletes, especially in the process of achieving the highest sports mastery.

An important role in the development of the modern course in sports physiology was played by Professor Nikolai Vasilyevich Zimkin, who headed the Department of Physiology from 1961 to 1975. and published three editions of the textbook “Human Physiology” under his editorship (1964, 1970, 1975). Research in the field of blood circulation, the neuromuscular system, electroencephalography is being intensively developed, and the physiology of stress conditions in sports is being studied. Doctoral dissertations are defended by V.V. Vasiliev. E. B. Sologub, Yu. 3. Zakharyants. In the period 1975-1984. The department is headed by Honored Scientist of the RSFSR, Professor Alexander Sergeevich Mozzhukhin. The main direction of research work is the study of the athlete’s functional reserves. During 1984-1986. The duties of the head of the department are temporarily performed by the Honorary Worker of Higher Education of Russia, Professor Elena Borisovna Sologub. Since 1986, the department has been headed by Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Professor Alexey Sergeevich Solodkov. The team's scientific interests focus on the problem of physiological adaptation of athletes' bodies to physical activity.

Having a highly qualified staff, the Department of Physiology made a great contribution to the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel and the preparation of curricula, textbooks and teaching aids for institutes and technical schools of physical culture. Thus, from 1935 (when the defense of dissertations was introduced) to 1998, under the leadership of the department’s staff, 13 doctoral and 160 candidate dissertations were successfully defended (including by foreign graduate students from Cuba, China, India, Egypt and Poland).

The department staff took part in the compilation of all publications published from 1938 to 1990. 11 curricula and 10 textbooks on physiology for physical education institutes. At the same time, the editors of 8 educational programs and 6 textbooks were the heads of the Department of Physiology of the GDOIPC named after. P. F. Lesgaft. In 13 textbooks on sports pedagogical disciplines, chapters on the physiological characteristics of physical exercises were also written by employees of the Department of Physiology. The department prepared and published 8 methodological manuals in the form of workshops on conducting laboratory classes in physiology, 7 special textbooks were published for students of the correspondence faculty and 4 for technical schools of physical education. More than 30 lectures have been published on various issues of the physiological characteristics of physical exercise.

The teachers' research work covered all the main sections of physiology: nervous and muscular systems, sensory organs, blood circulation and respiration, excretion, internal secretion, as well as special problems of sports physiology: adaptation to physical activity, functional reserves of the athlete's body, fatigue and recovery, etc. Every year dozens of scientific papers are published on various issues of sports physiology. From 1939 to 1990, employees of the department published 20 monographs directly related to the physiology of sports, some of them were translated abroad (Bulgaria, Germany, Poland, Romania, Greece, Czechoslovakia).

The highly qualified team of employees of the Department of Physiology constantly attracted the attention of the teaching staff of other institutes, especially newly formed ones. Since the pre-war years, teachers from a number of institutes of physical education and faculties of physical education have undergone internships at the department. pedagogical institutes, institutes of physical culture in socialist countries and some medical universities. Over the past 5 years alone, about 40 people have completed such an internship at the department. In addition, advanced training of teachers from the above-mentioned institutes in the specialization “physiology” is regularly carried out in the IPK and PC of our university.

The role of the department’s employees in the field of organizational activities is also significant. Thus, A. N. Krestovnikov, until 1955, headed the methodological commission on physiology of the All-Union Committee on Physical Culture and Sports under the Council of Ministers of the USSR, N. V. Zimkin from 1962 to 1976, along with the leadership of this Commission, was the chairman of the scientific commission on physiology , biomechanics, morphology and biochemistry of sports, chairman of the coordinating commission for the teaching of biomedical disciplines and member of the presidium of the Scientific Council of the USSR State Sports Committee. A. S. Mozzhukhin from 1976 to 1985 was a member of the methodological commission of the USSR State Sports Committee and was the chairman of the Council of Heads of Physiology Departments of Physical Culture Institutes of the RSFSR, and A.S. Solodkov is a member of the Scientific Council of the USSR State Sports Committee for Biological Sciences, chairman of the section “Physiology of Sports” of the Problem Commission of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences and the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, and currently heads the section “Physiology of Sports” of the St. Petersburg Society of Physiologists, Biochemists and Pharmacologists named after. I. M. Sechenov and is a member of the Board of this company.

In recent years, the staff of the department has been doing a lot of work to rebuild and improve the teaching of physiology and conduct scientific research. In accordance with the new curriculum and new program in physiology, work programs and thematic plans for lectures and laboratory classes on the subject have been redone. Taking into account the fact that the number of lecture hours in the new program has been significantly reduced, the lectures are predominantly problematic in nature. Laboratory classes are conducted in such a way that they contribute to understanding the essence, mechanisms and features of the regulation of physiological processes during muscle activity, mastering research methods, and instilling research skills in students.

The implementation of a new curriculum for the multi-level structure of higher physical education requires the creation of special educational and professional programs in physiology, taking into account the training of bachelors, graduates and masters of science. Solving these problems is especially important and a priority for the department because our academy has developed its own version of the curriculum for the implementation of a multi-level structure of higher physical education in Russia.

Behind achievements achieved in educational and scientific work and in connection with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the department in April 1995, by decision of the Academic Council of the Academy, it was named after Professor A. N. Krestovnikov, and two of his personal scholarships were established for students.

1.3. State of the art and prospects for the development of sports physiology.

Basic educational and scientific developments in the physiology of sports began for the first time and are inextricably linked with the history of the development of the Department of Physiology of the Institute of Physical Culture named after. P. F. Lesgaft. A special feature of the activities of the Department of Physiology was the creation of scientific laboratories in the main sections of sports physiology.

The research carried out in these laboratories made it possible to obtain new data on sports bioenergy and to classify sports exercises taking into account their energy characteristics (A. B. Gandelsman); a method for non-invasive determination of the composition of skeletal muscles was developed and the mechanisms of motor skill development were revealed (N. V. Zimkin); the phenomenon of potential synchronization on electromyograms during fatigue was identified (E.K. Zhukov); the characteristics of vascular reactions in athletes of various specializations were determined (V.V. Vasilyeva); an original method for recording electroencephalograms directly during the process of high-intensity muscular work was created and the cortical mechanisms of regulating the movements of athletes were studied for the first time (E. B. Sologub); emotions of competitive activity were studied (S. A. Razumov); the idea of an athlete’s physiological reserves has been developed (A. S. Mozzhukhin); the doctrine of the functional system of adaptation of athletes was substantiated (A. S. Solodkov), etc.

Subsequently, the study of various problems of sports physiology in our country significantly expanded and deepened, but in most cases, methodological approaches developed at the Department of Physiology of the Institute of Physical Culture named after. P. F. Lesgaft. Currently, research is being conducted in all educational and research institutes of physical education, in many universities, medical and pedagogical universities. The role and significance of all physiological systems of the body during muscular activity are studied, as well as priority problems for the physiology of sports: adaptation to physical activity, performance, fatigue and recovery of athletes, functional reserves of the body, etc.

Clarification of the issue of extrapolation processes in the central nervous system is essential for justifying the variability of loads during sports training. Only on the basis of this concept can the training process be correctly constructed, in which the magnitude, speed and intensity of the loads must vary, which is not always taken into account by doctors, coaches and athletes. It is also necessary to take into account the age-related dynamics of human locomotor functions.

The priority directions for further research in the physiology of the central nervous system are to elucidate the features of the formation and mobilization of functional reserves of the brain of athletes and study the restructuring of cortical functional systems of interconnected activity in the process of adapting them to specialized loads. Significant attention should be paid to studies of evoked activity in the cerebral cortex and spinal cord, as well as the role of functional asymmetry and sensory systems in the formation of some special motor skills.

In recent years, a new direction in sports physiology has been developing, associated with the development of sports genetics and considering the features of hereditary influences and trainability of various physiological indicators and physical qualities and, first of all, the role of the innate individual-typological characteristics of the body for sports orientation, selection and prediction of achievements in sports .

The beneficial changes that occur in the body, and in particular in the cardiovascular system, when engaging in physical education and sports are obvious. However, not all issues in this section of sports cardiology have been resolved, and the study of functional changes cannot be considered complete. The possibility of developing pathological changes in the heart (pathological athletic heart, according to G. F. Lang), which can arise primarily as a result of excessive training loads that exceed the capabilities of a particular athlete, requires further research. The difficulties in studying and preventing a number of diseases in athletes lie in the fact that currently there is no developed and scientifically based course on the pathological physiology of sports, the need for which is very obvious.

To date, there is no data regarding the effectiveness of different combinations of movement tempo and breathing rate in various sports, as well as on the nature and degree of voluntary corrections of external respiration.

The issue of the duration of recovery after intense training and competitive loads still remains controversial.

Touching on some special theoretical issues, which have undoubted applied significance in sports, it is necessary first of all to point out the problems of adaptation to physical activity, functional reserves of the body, sports biorhythmology, psychophysiological and medical selection and professional guidance of athletes. In particular, the immediate tasks are to determine quantitative criteria for various stages of adaptation, analyze adaptive functional systems formed during various types of sports activities, differentiate adaptive changes from prepathological conditions and study compensatory reactions.

For many years, research has been carried out on various functions of the body of athletes. However, comprehensive surveys are carried out relatively rarely, and the analysis of their results involves lengthy processing of the data obtained. In this regard, in sports physiology, so-called express methods are becoming of great importance, allowing one to assess the functional state of an athlete not only after, but also during training and competition. Important tasks of sports physiologists are also the justification, development and implementation of express methods for the purpose of studying functional adaptation systems that are formed to various types of physical exercise. The use of computers will make it possible to quickly analyze and summarize the results obtained by various research methods, and immediately implement the most important and informative ones into practice.

When talking about mass physical culture, the following must be taken into account. The applied loads should cause changes corresponding only to the stage of increasing the nonspecific stability (adaptability) of the organism. It is also necessary to prevent the possibility of injury. All this also applies to the physical training of special contingents: military personnel, rescue teams, etc. Physical education classes with children, women, disabled people and people with poor health deserve special attention. Further development and scientific substantiation of a number of physiological problems associated with the age-related and medical-biological characteristics of these groups of people and the nature of their adaptive changes are required.

In the coming years, in mass physical culture, it is necessary to resolve the issues of the minimum volume of physical exercises with various combinations and the required duration of classes, which together will allow obtaining a sufficient healing effect in relation to people’s resistance to the effects of adverse environmental factors and maintaining high mental and physical performance. This kind of research is complex and voluminous, but it is extremely necessary. At the same time, the minimum norms of load and time during physical exercise will obviously be different for people of different ages, health conditions, gender, profession, which will require a differentiated approach to research of different population groups. At the same time, it must be emphasized that until now, the main attention of researchers has been paid to sports, especially elite sports. Mass physical culture is on the sidelines, and functional changes and adaptive changes are studied to a lesser extent.

The intensively developing practice of physical culture and sports requires the fastest implementation of applied areas of sports physiology. At the same time, we should once again recall the well-known position that without developing deeply theoretical problems and without conducting basic research, we will constantly fall behind in practice. It is useful to recall the words of the famous Italian physicist and physiologist Alessandro Volta, which he said back in 1815: “There is nothing more practical than a good theory.”

2. ADAPTATION TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND RESERVE CAPABILITIES OF THE ORGANISM.
One of the most important problems modern physiology and medicine is the study of the laws of the body’s adaptation process to various environmental factors. Human adaptation affects a wide range of general biological patterns, the interests of workers in various scientific disciplines and is associated, first of all, with the self-regulation of multicomponent functional systems. It is no coincidence that the problem of human adaptation is one of the main sections of the extensive International Biological Program.

Currently, there are a number of definitions of adaptation. In our opinion, the most complete concept of physiological adaptation given in the third edition of the Great Soviet Encyclopedia: “Physiological adaptation is a set of physiological reactions that underlies the body’s adaptation to changes in environmental conditions and is aimed at maintaining the relative constancy of its internal environment - homeostasis.” (M., 1969. T.]. P. 216).

The significance of the problem of adaptation in sports is determined primarily by the fact that the athlete’s body must adapt to physical activity in a relatively short time. It is the speed of adaptation and its duration that largely determine the health and fitness of the athlete. In this regard, significant scientific interest For the practice of sports, it is the development of a systemic justification for the adaptation of the body in the process of achieving the highest sports mastery. At the same time, it is well known that the morphofunctional characteristics of the human body, formed over a long period of evolution, cannot change with the same speed with which the structure and nature of training and competitive loads in sports change. The discrepancy in time between these processes can lead to the occurrence of functional disorders, which are manifested by various pathological disorders.

2.1. Dynamics of body functions during adaptation and its stages.
Determining the functional changes that occur during training and competitive loads is necessary, first of all, to assess the adaptation process, the degree of fatigue, the level of fitness and performance of athletes and is the basis for improving rehabilitation measures. The influence of physical activity on a person can only be judged on the basis of a comprehensive account of the totality of reactions of the whole organism, including reactions from the central nervous system, hormonal apparatus, cardiovascular and respiratory systems, analyzers, metabolism, etc. It should be emphasized that the severity of changes in functions the body's response to physical activity depends primarily on individual characteristics person and his level of fitness. Changes in the functional indicators of athletes' bodies can be correctly analyzed and comprehensively assessed only when considering them in relation to the adaptation process.

The textbook was prepared in accordance with the new program in physiology for universities of physical education and the requirements of the State Standard of Higher Professional Education. The textbook is intended for undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, teachers, trainers and doctors working in the field of physical education.

METHODS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL RESEARCH.
Physiology is an experimental science. Knowledge about the functions and mechanisms of the body’s activity is based on experiments conducted on animals, observations in the clinic, and examinations of healthy people under various experimental conditions. At the same time, in relation to a healthy person, methods are required that are not associated with damage to his tissues and penetration into the body - the so-called non-invasive methods.
In general, physiology uses three methodological research methods: observation or the “black box” method, acute experience and chronic experiment.

Classical research methods were methods of removal and methods of irritation of individual parts or entire organs, mainly used in experiments on animals or during operations in the clinic. They gave an approximate idea of the functions of removed or irritated organs and tissues of the body. In this regard, a progressive method for studying the whole organism was the method of conditioned reflexes developed by I. P. Pavlov.

IN modern conditions The most common are electrophysiological methods that allow recording electrical processes without changing the current activity of the organs being studied and without damaging the integumentary tissues - for example, electrocardiography, electromyography, electroencephalography (registration of electrical activity of the heart, muscles and brain). The development of radio telemetry makes it possible to transmit these received records over considerable distances, and computer technologies and special programs provide a subtle analysis of physiological data. The use of infrared photography (thermal imaging) allows us to identify the hottest or coldest areas of the body observed at rest or as a result of activity. With the help of so-called computed tomography, without opening the brain, you can see its morphofunctional changes at different depths. New data on the functioning of the brain and individual parts of the body are provided by the study of magnetic oscillations.

Preface

In 1798, the Medical-Surgical (Military Medical) Academy was founded in St. Petersburg, which played an exceptional role in the development of human physiology. The Department of Physiology created under her was successively headed by P. A. Zagorsky, D. M. Vellansky, N. M. Yakubovich, I. M. Sechenov, I. F. Tsion, F. V. Ovsyannikov, I. R. Tarkhanov, I. P. Pavlov, L. A. Orbeli, A. V. Lebedinsky, M.P. Brestkin and other outstanding representatives of physiological science. Behind each named name there are discoveries in physiology that are of global significance.

The rapid development of physiology and the acceleration of scientific and technological progress in the country led to the emergence in the 30s of the 20th century of a new independent section of human physiology - sports physiology, although individual works devoted to the study of body functions during physical activity were published at the end of the 19th century (I O. Rozanov, S. S. Gruzdev, Yu. V. Blazhevich, P. K. Gorbachev, etc.). It should be emphasized that systematic research and teaching of sports physiology began in our country earlier than abroad, and was more targeted. By the way, we note that only in 1989 the General Assembly of the International Union of Physiological Sciences decided to create a commission under it “Physiology of Sports”, although similar commissions and sections in the system of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, the All-Union Physiological Society named after. I. P. Pavlova of the USSR State Sports Committee have existed in our country since the 1960s.

The development of sports physiology was largely due to extensive fundamental and applied research on the subject. The development of any science poses more and more new practical problems for representatives of many specialties, to which theory cannot always and immediately provide an unambiguous answer. However, as D. Crowcroft (1970) wittily noted, “...scientific research has one strange feature: it has a habit, sooner or later, of being useful to someone or something.” Analysis of the development of educational and scientific areas of sports physiology clearly confirms this position.

The demands of the theory and practice of physical education and training require physiological science to reveal the peculiarities of the functioning of the body, taking into account the age of people and the patterns of their adaptation to muscular activity. The scientific principles of physical education of children and adolescents are based on the physiological laws of human growth and development at different stages of ontogenesis. In the process of physical education, it is necessary not only to increase motor readiness, but also to form the necessary psychophysiological properties and qualities of the individual, ensuring her readiness for work and active activity in the modern world.
